I've spent the last two weeks working on (and dreaming about) a federal grant proposal upon which my future employment depends. But now it's out of my hands. Finally. And it's making that magic trip to the hallowed halls of the U.S. Department of Education. Godspeed.
But it's a Good Pain. Sometimes The Onion is so funny it hurts. Last week it was Christopher Hitchens (I can't believe that one isn't included in their online archive); and now it's this:
Bush To Lovely Chilean Ambassador: 'I Must Paint You'
WASHINGTON, DC—After spotting Chilean Ambassador to the U.S. Natalia Verdugo at a D.C.-area café Tuesday, a smitten President Bush promptly invited the bewitching diplomat to his artist's garret in the East Wing of the White House. "I must paint you," Bush reportedly told Verdugo. "I simply must commit your beauty to the canvas immediately. Please, come away with me to my studio, where the early-evening light from my western window shall caress your undraped form." Though she eventually agreed to pose for the president, Verdugo drew the line at "an afternoon of fiery passion" among his charcoal sketches.
The Onion's crack staff of reporters have also discovered the real inspiration for the Bush Doctrine.
